How to Process Fully Applied Documents for Vendors in Dynamics GP

Many Dynamics GP AP users complain about seeing old fully applied documents on the check stubs as they print a check for a vendor. What these users might not know, however, is that solving this common complaint is as easy as processing an old fully applied document through a regular check batch and posting it as a $0 batch before you actually print a live check.

In this blog, we’ll show you how you can easily process fully applied documents for vendors in Dynamics GP.

Use the second arrow on the bottom left to scroll to the correct record. Be sure to check that the proper vendor ID is showing.

Click Apply

Uncheck any invoices that have been applied and hit OK

Click on Check Stub

Make sure only the previously applied documents are checked off and Check Amount says $0.00

Then hit OK

Click Print Checks

Select Save

Make sure that the Batch Total is $0.00

Change Check Number to something like ‘APPLY-VendorID’, as seen in the example below.

Hit the Print button which will take you directly to Post Payables Checks window.

Hit Process

Click on Post

Hit Process

Select Continue

Print/Cancel any reports

You’re Done!

As you can see below, the next time you create a check batch for this vendor, those $0 documents won’t appear on the stub.

This method is much easier than being forced to scroll through each vendor record and uncheck any open invoices before proceeding with a $0 batch to the Print Payables Checks window. Ultimately, this fix will save you and your vendors from a lot of potential confusion.
